Running on Android 8.1 Oreo with custom “ROG Gaming” ZenUI skin on top, the ROG Phone features a 6-inch full-HD+ (1080×2160 pixels) AMOLED display and powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor. The SoC is paired with gaming-optimised Adreno 630 GPU along with 8GB of RAM.

The rear camera on ROG Phone features two sensors, 12-megapixel and 8-megapixel, while on the front sits an 8-megapixel selfie camera. As far as the storage is concerned, the gaming handset packs up to 512GB of inbuilt storage.

It comes with standard connectivity options like Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ad, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, AGPS, Glonass, USB Type-C port, NFC, and 3.5mm jack, and also a 4000mAh battery which is rated to deliver around 7 hours of Wi-Fi gameplay.
